This is a priority identified by the October 2011 community survey on improving metadata support authored by the DSpace Community Advisory Team at the request of the DSpace Committers/Developers. DCAT has summarized and interpreted the information gathered from the survey estimated level of effort required. DSpace community members should feel free to add more detailed explanation/examples to further flesh out the changes/requirements they would like to see. It is recommended that a community project team be formed around this work.   

Project Description

  • Qualified Dublin Core registry in DSpace has not been updated for 8 years. Standardization would help compatibility with other systems and benefit from information gathered by the DCMI community (related links:https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-805 https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-433).
  • need consensus/guidance from metadata experts in the community on specifically how/what to update and which version of the DCMI standard should be used
  • need to link to the relevant schema on DC website and lock down (allow adds, but not changes)
  • isolate where local customizations are done  
  • Initial look at the requirements 

Estimated Effort Level Required

LEVEL OF COMMUNITY EFFORT: likely low to medium

LEVEL OF DEVELOPER EFFORT: likely low to medium
